His Infernal Grace (My Demon Reimagined)
There is something at work in my soul which I do not understand.
- Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
In a world where gods still whisper to the cursed, Do Hee has spent her entire life running---from the past she cannot remember, the nightmares that bleed into reality, and the feeling that something inside her is not entirely human. Cold, ruthless, and brilliant, she has built walls high enough to keep the world at a safe distance. But when fate forces her into a contract marriage with Jung Gu-won, a man who is more shadow than flesh, her carefully controlled life begins to fracture.
Gu-won is not a man. He is a demon who has walked the earth for centuries, a harbinger of death whose name has been etched into the bones of history. When the veil of humanity slips, he is something else entirely. Do Hee should have been nothing more than a means to an end-a pawn in a game older than time itself. But from the moment he lays eyes on her, something inside him stirs. Something dangerous. Something he should not feel.
Bound by an ancient curse, tangled in the threads of past lives and unfinished stories, Do Hee and Gu-won are both the key and the consequence of a love that has defied death itself. But as forgotten memories claw their way to the surface and forbidden desires consume them, they begin to realize: this is not the first time they have loved each other... nor the first time they have lost.
Now, the gods are watching. The past is waking. And in the end, one question remains: Will they break the cycle-or will they become its final sacrifice?
